Post-Surgical Recovery

THE MISSING PIECE IN YOUR SURGICAL RECOVERY

While the medical system focuses on making sure your incision closes, there's often little support for what comes next. What about addressing surgical scars? Optimizing your recovery? Helping your whole body adapt to the changes?

Your surgeon did their job. But who’s helping with your recovery? The way your whole body mover differently? The scar tissue forming deep inside?

Surgical Scars Create Lasting Impacts Throughout Your Body

Your hip replacement might have been successful, but surgical scars are like spider webs that can attach and affect areas far from the original site.

Osteopathy recognizes scars as a serious drag on your body's ability to function.¹⁻² Surgical scars are the deepest, as they go right through the body—creating restrictions that can affect seemingly unrelated areas.

Evidence-Based Support for Complete Surgical Recovery

Research shows osteopathy improves post-surgical outcomes. Studies demonstrate that osteopathic treatment after surgery:

Reduces pain and medication needs after joint replacement³
Improves functional recovery following major surgery⁴
Addresses scar tissue complications that can persist for years¹

Post-surgical osteopathic care means addressing the complete picture. You'll get support for reducing pain without relying solely on medication, improving comfort and mobility, and treating the full-body effects of surgery for quicker, more complete healing.
